WiFi in Hotels in Cheltenham and Gloucestershire needs to be fast and reliable. Hotel guests now expect WiFi to be free, secure and stable and in order to keep those guests happy hotels need to ensure the WiFi network reaches all guest rooms and is capable of handling the number of devices that will be used.
Keeping users happy with through reliable WiFi will depend on the Internet speed as provided by the Internet Service Provider (ISP). As long as the Internet speed to the hotel is fast and reliable, we can ensure WiFi coverage in and around the hotel.

Who Will Use WiFi In A Hotel ?
This might seem like an obvious answer but it goes deeper than you think because WiFi usage isn't just about guest numbers, it's about device numbers.More and more people travel with multiple WiFi enabled gadgets. These wireless capable devices can be in the form of:
- Mobile phone
- Laptop
- iPad / Tablets
- Amazon FireStick to watch Netflix or Amazon
- Gaming console such as Nintendo Switch
- Wireless Speaker such as the Amazon Echo
If a hotel has one guest with all of those devices, that is 6 devices needing WiFi connectivity. Take that number and - it's a worse case scenario, we know - multiply it by the number of rooms.
If a room has double occupancy, potentially add another three devices per double occupancy room and before you know it, a hotel with just 20 rooms has a huge demand for WiFi and this is where good wireless access points are critical.
What Is The Difference Between Wireless Access Points ?
Cheap WiFI Access Points (APs for short), are not capable of handling a large number of connections, so put a cheap access point in the middle of a hotel corridor and you've potentially got a lot of devices trying to connect to an access point that just can't maintain the numbers.
Not only do numbers matter, but stability of the wifi connection is crucial - especially for users wishing to use Skype or VPN services back to their office.
What AP Should Hotels Be Using ?
Hotels should be using the best Wireless Access Points that they can afford. Those wireless access points should each be able to handle over 100 connections without stability and throughput issues.
Throughput is the speed delivery of the Internet. There little point in your hotel having a 1Gb leased line if your access points drop out or can't provide speeds greater than a few MBs.
If your hotel has fast Internet, make sure your guests can tap into those speeds and benefit.
Fast and reliable Internet = Happy Guests and good reviews
